2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
For 2012, Harley-Davidson has upgraded the Road Glide Custom, known as the “tourer’s touring bike,” from the 96 ci to the Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel.
The rubber-mounted engine produces 100 ft. lbs. of torque at 3250 rpm, adding additional horsepower to the Road Glide Custom, the tourer that features the famed shark-nose, frame-mounted fairing.
The Road Glide Custom also takes styling to a new level, offering a slammed, custom appearance.
Harley says “With a lowered suspension, large 18-inch front wheel, shorty, smoked wind deflector, color- matched saddlebag latches and custom rear fascia and taillight, the Road Glide Custom brings true attitude and style to that renowned handling.”
The 2012 Road Glide Custom is also offered from the factory with a Security Package Option, combining an Anti-lock Braking System and Smart Security System for outstanding value.
Following are the highlights, specs, color options and MSRP for the 2012 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom.
